Dimension Drifter Update?

[OrenD]

Since dev is back it would be great to know if he intend to update this game. It was a very long time since the last update, and now I see that another game in Early Access is announced. Not a good sign to be honest. Hope to receive a comment from Blue on this.

The biggest issue with Dimension Drifter's development as a single person developer is 3d meshes and animation. I thought I was capable of handling this on my own - I am not. It's way, waaay too time consuming to develop an entire game AND do all the 3d stuff as a single person (at least in my experience).

Nowadays, with the current advancements in the Unreal Engine and the way it's handling animations etc, and the advancements in AI, there is a silver lining on the horizon that maybe, just maybe, there might be a way to develop the game further using the most advanced technologies.

However, last that I saw we're still not quite there yet. Keep an eye out for AI 3d creation and animation and you'll see some astounding things that are possible today - just not on a "production level" and with minimal time investment.

But it will happen. It's inevitable. And I'll be there on day 1, trust me :)

Your reply is kinda discouraging, but I did know what I'm getting into when I bought Early Access. Okay, noted, thanks.

It's a shame. Kudos for outright admitting it's too much to handle. This game is actually fun and has good bones. I see wicked angels is in some stage of production, looks interesting but it might be smart business-wise to throw some kind of a bone to those who bought Drifter as good-will and loyalty buyback. For Example: a decent update, or like the Black One Blood Brothers developer did: gave the game for free to those who bought the previous game he scrapped.
As a customer and fan of video games I would honestly prefer to see this game continue though.

P.S. Have you tried reaching out to the community for help? I'm sure there are some people willing to assist just for a name in the credits. Had I the skills, I would- I helped out with some of the concepts for the mod Nali Chronicles (such as the unique backpack system, weapons, and magic abilities) for Unreal Tournament- just because I wanted to be a part of the community. A snail's pace is better than no pace.

Still here and still waiting for the update. You already showed that you care about your games. Recent updates on the unloved is the proof of that. I'm willing to wait as long as it takes.
